your speed without allowing your accuracy to suffer. You will need dexterity, a computer with internet

access and goal. Step 1. Learn how to type the proper way. Memorize the home row where

the fingers rest, and how each key relates to them. Say the name of the key when you

type it to help you memorize it. Step 2. Use proper posture and positioning, also known

as ergonomics. Sit upright with your wrists, elbows, and the keyboard aligned on the same

plane, and keep your hands lower than your elbows. Step 3. Type by hitting each key in

the center firmly, but not with too much force. Step 4. Go as quickly as you can without mistakes.

The more confidence you get, the faster you will type. Step 5. Use online typing software

and sites with typing lessons to help you practice and improve your skills. Many exercises

have you copy paragraphs or type along with audio clips. Step 6. Set a goal with a timeline

that you can reasonably achieve. Take steps to meet your goal and improve your typing.
